Latest / Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo / Curtis Bowers: Marx Madness & Communist 'AGENDA' In America
Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
- 0:10defending biblical Christianity.
- 0:13No topic, off limits.
- 0:16And now, here's your host, David Firazzo.
- 0:20As you know, his pastors that Christ has his followers, his disciples, his people that
- 0:28are accomplishing his purposes here on this earth.
- 0:32But Satan also has his disciples.
- 0:35And communist, Marxist, those are his disciples.
- 0:40They are adamantly and with a righteous and a religious fervor that's hard to comprehend
- 0:48trying to accomplish his purposes.
- 0:50And we see by all the things they're trying to accomplish that they are not stopping
- 0:55until everything God designed to be a certain way has been turned on its head.
- 1:01That's all this is about.
- 1:03It is what Ephesians 6 talks about.
- 1:05It is a spiritual battle against wickedness and Satan.
- 1:11It's not naive, misguided people that don't have a clue.
- 1:14It's people that are committed to their commander-in-chief and they do exactly as they are told.
- 1:21The reason we are losing this and I'll talk more at the end about this is because we
- 1:25are near as committed as they are.
- 1:28We are not near as committed as they are.
- 1:32And we're going to talk with Curtis Bowers, filmmaker, author, former Idaho legislator
- 1:36in just a minute.
- 1:37I'll introduce him, but first I want to say thank you for watching and sharing and supporting
- 1:43World View Matters because as you can see with this cake here in front of us, we are celebrating
- 1:48the 100th episode and I mean, wow, all the great guests we've had.
- 1:53It's just been amazing.
- 1:55So I wanted to thank you guys so very much and I could go down the list and I have announced
- 1:59different states, different people that have sent in donations from across the country.
- 2:03God bless you.
- 2:04Thank you.
- 2:05You are part of this battle that we are in.
- 2:06A fight for our freedom and the biblical world view.
- 2:10But I also want to thank the staff behind the scenes that we don't see or talk about.
- 2:15And I just want to thank personally Dan, Mike Menzel, one of the producers, Jeff,
- 2:20the producer, also Katie and Nakeda.
- 2:24God bless you guys.
- 2:25They work with excellence as under the Lord and I believe World View Matters is growing
- 2:30in part because of the quality that is put into it.
- 2:33So guys, thank you who are viewing.
- 2:35Thank you guys, everybody that's involved and I want to bring in Curtis Bowers now and
- 2:39is very first film agenda, the documentary grinding America down.
- 2:45We're going to talk a little bit about that.
- 2:47You can't not talk about it because a lot of people are still learning about some of
- 2:52the content, the Marxist revolution in America, cultural Marxism, communist policy in the
- 2:59United States.
- 3:00So let's bring in Curtis Bowers, brother, I know you just got off the road.
- 3:03Thank you so much for being on World View Matters.
- 3:07You're welcome and congratulations on 100th.
- 3:11Thank you.
- 3:12Thank you.
- 3:13Slow but sure.
- 3:14How many podcasts you've done so many podcasts, too?
- 3:15You're probably well over.
- 3:16You're in the hundreds I'm guessing by now.
- 3:19Or speeches.
- 3:20Yeah, I think we are.
- 3:22So Curtis, that clip we played to kick off the podcast was from a recent Liberty Pastures
- 3:28conference.
- 3:29I've been there a couple of times to a couple of 2020 and 2021.
- 3:33I was in Dallas, Texas.
- 3:34That's where I met Trevor Loudon, who I first heard of in agenda documentary.
- 3:40So talk to us a little bit more about what you were sharing about the left being so committed.
- 3:46And I wish the church was as committed to the truth as they are to lies and Marxism and
- 3:53go ahead and share your thoughts on that.
- 3:55Well, as I've studied Marxism for decades now, you see from even Marxist back in the
- 4:0230s, 40s and 50s, you know, when they didn't appear to be making much progress, they were
- 4:08still just all in.
- 4:10I remember Whitaker Chambers who eventually became a Christian and then came over to our
- 4:15side.
- 4:16But he said his wife and him would work for 60, 70 hours a week for free that have another
- 4:21job to pay their bills and they would work for the cause just because they so believed
- 4:27in this move for world communism.
- 4:29So it's something that as you study and you see their efforts, you realize, man, they
- 4:35have this just religious fervor in them for a lie.
- 4:40And yet we have the truth and sometimes a little too busy to tell my neighbor about Jesus
- 4:46or stand up for something that's being said that's not not true.
- 4:49And I should stand up and tell the alternative side of this of whatever I'm kind of busy.
- 4:55And so that's why how we've gotten to where we are, specifically the church and pastors
- 5:00dropping the ball, starting back in the 1930s, believe in the humanist manifesto lie that
- 5:07the church and its message belongs inside the four walls of the church and nowhere else.
- 5:13And back in the 30s, many mainline denominations started saying, oh, I'm sorry, excuse me, pardon
- 5:18me.
- 5:19And they believe the lie that only the religion of humanism was allowed in the world.
- 5:24And so they backed into the church and the church lost its influence on the culture
- 5:29and on everything going on.
- 5:32And that's what we see then.
- 5:33It was fertile soil then for the Marxists to come in and fill the gap of all the things
- 5:38that the church had been doing very effectively where they could use those things to get more
- 5:44power and control influence salt and light.
- 5:49And by the way, second biggest lie in America, the separation of church and state, right?
- 5:56Curtis, you were talking to a room full of pastors at that conference just a week or so
- 6:01ago.
- 6:02And I want you to share, it was surprising to me when you asked how many people have seen
- 6:07the original or the agenda documentary or the second one.
- 6:11And not many hands went up to you and I were kind of going, wow, but you said something
- 6:16before we got on the podcast, it's very interesting.
- 6:18You said, it's good that more people are catching on and are trying to learn about this.
- 6:23But share what that's just must seem odd to you because you've been out there since 2010.
- 6:28Yeah, before that's right, but I've been traveling actively for the last 14 years all over
- 6:35the country each year with my family, trying to wake up people to understand the purposefulness
- 6:41behind America's fall.
- 6:44And but yeah, everywhere we've been going the last year or two, unlike years gone by,
- 6:51none of them even have heard of the movie agenda grinding America down.
- 6:55And we had over 25 million people just watched on the internet years ago, but we had hundreds
- 7:01of thousands of copies of the movies being shown at churches and communities all over this
- 7:06country thousands of each week were being shown for a couple of years.
- 7:10And but now what I think it is, David, is COVID kind of awakened a whole nether batch of
- 7:19people.
- 7:20It always takes something to finally shake people from their busy life and their slumber
- 7:25of not being, you know, having time for what's important all too busy with life.
- 7:31And I remember back the first wave was when Obama was elected president in 2009 when he
- 7:36came into office, all of a sudden he started to say things about shared prosperity and
- 7:41things that also people go, wait a minute, that's socialism.
- 7:44What was going on?
- 7:45And it woke up a whole group of people in the tea party movement started stuff.
- 7:49And then a lot of those people probably a lot of them have slowly died off some of the
- 7:52older ones and things.
- 7:55But then I think COVID was another huge wake up call.
- 7:58And I think over the last four years ago, it started right now, tens of millions of Americans
- 8:06have awakened in that, that's a wonderful thing.
- 8:08We should thank God for that.
- 8:10He indirectly has answered our prayers, you know, God help us by okay, I'm going to allow
- 8:18conditions that are going to awaken another 10, 20, 30 million people to realize the narrative
- 8:24is a lie.
- 8:25The things we've been taught most of our life is a lie.
- 8:29And there is a war going on for our country because to ever implement a world government,
- 8:36they know America has got to go.
- 8:38You can't have one country up there like the city on a hill and get the rest of the world
- 8:43to buy into the misery of socialism.
- 8:46You've got to take them all down, then, you know, people I owe whatever, all I need
- 8:51something to eat, they're not worried about the details of things as much as survival.
- 8:55But that's what they've been trying to do.
- 8:57So that's, yeah, at that conference, as most of the places I've been recently, no one's
- 9:03hardly heard of it.
- 9:04And as I give a speech on some of these things, they're very sobered by it and very interested
- 9:09in it, which is wonderful, but I can tell, okay, they're finally, you know, popping the
- 9:16bubble and coming out and going, oh my goodness, things are different than what I thought
- 9:19they were.
- 9:21So we're going to talk about PR and propaganda after we take a very brief break, but before
- 9:25we do that, you brought up COVID in 2020.
- 9:29Sometimes I refer to time now BC before COVID and after 2020, but there's an article that's
- 9:35relevant because what was going on during that year, not only did our government, and
- 9:39you think of Nazi Germany as chilling, not only did our government deem the church
- 9:44non-essential, but there were lockdowns, power grabs off the charts that we've never seen
- 9:50in American history and telling businesses how they could run, but they're of course
- 9:54keeping the abortion mills open.
- 9:56But there's an article I pulled off from a week or so ago off the news wire.
- 10:00It says, why America's kids are hip to BLM and LGBT, but are failing ABC and 1, 2, 3.
- 10:11And it's got a picture of Randy Winegarten, the president of one of the huge teachers unions.
- 10:17And this is on-purpose Curtis Bowers unions are an enemy of the people.
- 10:23And this is the full, in February, they celebrated Black Lives Matter week of action.
- 10:28That was just a few weeks ago in many public schools.
- 10:32And unions were pushing this and I just want to get your response to this because in school,
- 10:38they were celebrating and promoting Black Lives Matter week of action, knowing full well.
- 10:43Well, most Americans know Black Lives Matter started China back then.
- 10:49They were started by Marxist.
- 10:51They were trained Marxist, the co-founders admitted that.
- 10:54They were anti-Christian, anti-family, anti-freedom, anti-American, and they're pushing all these
- 10:59things.
- 11:00They're pro LGBT, pro trans, and everything else.
- 11:03And this is what they're still pushing in the government run schools, your quick thoughts.
- 11:09Yeah.
- 11:10It was a goal stated clearly in the 1950s, goal 17 of their, the Communist Party USA, was
- 11:17get control of the schools, use them as transmission belts for socialism, soften the curriculum,
- 11:24and get control of teachers associations.
- 11:29You have the children, you have everything, and they understand that we have unfortunately
- 11:35not heated what the Bible says in that the blessing of children, the reward of children,
- 11:41and that the hand that rocks the cradle really does rule the world.
- 11:45And that's why every totalitarian has always been after being involved with the curriculum
- 11:49in the schools, so they can raise the next generation to be the people they want them
- 11:54to be and use them and all the energies of their life to accomplish their goals.
- 12:00Maybe when we come back from our break, you can share with our audience if you think people
- 12:04are catching on a little too late.
- 12:06But we'll talk about that.
- 12:07Plus, we are going to talk about PR and propaganda.
- 12:09But we come right back.
- 12:10We've got a lot more coming up on this 100th episode of World View Matters with Curtis
- 12:15Bowers.
- 12:16Today's show is brought to you by Harbinger's Daily.

- 13:39The movies are also available there at agendaweekly.com if you'd like to get a copy.
- 13:45And people were mentioning, they were asking you one of the questions you get, where can
- 13:48I get actual news that's not biased?
- 13:51And you put this out.
- 13:52That's one of the reasons you do this because you say agenda weekly is designed to equip
- 13:56you.
- 13:57Jeff, I just want to pull up the resource page.
- 13:59I put one of those up on my website real quick, 200 resources, 200 resources for Christians,
- 14:07conservatives where you can get info on culture, Bible prophecy, church, worldview, globalism,
- 14:12all kinds of commentary.
- 14:13You can get apologetics and more.
- 14:15But Curtis Bowers, I really like what you shared last year at the Prophecy Conference in
- 14:21Appleton, Wisconsin.
- 14:22We're fortunate to both be able to speak there.
- 14:25And you shared some fascinating information on how this transition has been happening very
- 14:30gradually from PR, which sounds benign, but it's actually propaganda.
- 14:36I don't know if I got that right, but explain and kind of bring our audience up to speed.
- 14:42Yeah, back as early as the 1930s, the people that were pushing propaganda in our country,
- 14:48which was our government and many of the big businesses and things through their advertisements
- 14:53that weren't true, they realized, okay, propaganda, because of Hitler and different things
- 14:58that have happened in the world kind of has a bad name, so we're going to rename it public
- 15:02relations and a very clever way of propagandizing people back like, oh no, no, this is just
- 15:08our public relations department.
- 15:10But at that talk, what I talked about a little bit in summary was fifth generation warfare.
- 15:18Warfare has gone through many different stages throughout time, starting with first generation
- 15:21warfare, which was like the Civil War, where you just had a line and column tactics.
- 15:26People line up, shoot each other and then you keep going, which it wasn't too brain and
- 15:31my thinking.
- 15:32But fifth generation warfare, what were really those that are against us, those that are
- 15:38trying to use the energies of us individually in our country against us have realized it's far
- 15:45easier to use propaganda and brainwashing and manipulation to get people to voluntarily do
- 15:52what you want them to do instead of having to force them with guns and things like that.
- 15:57And so they've slowly been perfecting this since the 1930s.
- 16:00How do you manipulate people into just doing it and Edward Bernays who wrote the book propaganda
- 16:07back in the 1920s? He had really discovered through advertising.
- 16:11Basically, you can get people to do anything you want them to do.
- 16:14As long as you can convince them, it's what the experts would recommend for them to do.
- 16:20The people that they admire, maybe their doctors, maybe movie stars or actors or athletes or
- 16:26whatever, they realize, oh my goodness, people, when they look up to someone, then whatever
- 16:32that person thinks about whatever the subject may be, even if it's a subject, they have no expertise
- 16:37and they listen to them. And so that's when they really started buying up the influencers and to
- 16:43get them to carry their messages and their narrative to the public and they saw, oh my goodness,
- 16:49it's so effective. Even during World War One and World War Two, when Americans really didn't want
- 16:53to go to war because we had just seen enough death, they really, they hired Edward Bernays and he
- 17:00said, listen, after surveying the American people, I feel that anything you wrap and cloak
- 17:08in patriotism they will be for. They so love their country, it's crystal clear. So if you're
- 17:14wanting them to go to war, you label that as the most patriotic thing you can do.
- 17:18And anyone that's against the war, their traitors to the cause and they found it was very effective
- 17:26and it's manipulated. A lot of us that do love America most of our life and some have awakened
- 17:31out of rights. Wait, they're using that against us just like they use the idea of Christians
- 17:37are loving and kind and we're supposed to love our neighbor. Well, they know the Bible says that
- 17:41so they know, okay, how can we cloak things if we're trying to sell it to the Christian community?
- 17:46How can we sell it as this is what Jesus would do? This is, you know, this is biblical, you know,
- 17:52if they don't believe in the Bible, they don't believe in Jesus. But so we've we're really in a
- 17:57world today that is just constant barrage of half-truths and misinformation, disinformation,
- 18:05they act like we're doing that. They're the ones that are experts in this because they realize
- 18:10if you can control the narrative, you can control most of the people most of the time.
- 18:16And world dictators have known this. They've talked a lot about influencing the youth and
- 18:20controlling the narrative. You mentioned patriotism and how maybe a hundred years ago or maybe even
- 18:2650 years ago perhaps people would have thought of that as a good thing. Well, now isn't an interesting
- 18:33Curtis Bowers that they're talking about Christian nationalism and a negative light,
- 18:37derogatory fashion. That's part of this agenda, isn't it? It is to reflect negatively on the
- 18:43biblical worldview and on people that are simply patriotic about America. Your thoughts on that?
- 18:49Yeah. Well, I think they used patriotism as long as they could when it was in the majority,
- 18:54where most people love their country. But then they rise, hey, our school system's being successful
- 19:00in teaching them to be anti-American, to focus on every mistake America ever made instead of
- 19:05all its successes or to make fabricate things about it that aren't even true to begin with.
- 19:10They were like, okay, now we're turning the tide. We're now we're going to finally come out against
- 19:15patriotism since we've hated it from the beginning, but we wanted to use it as long as we could
- 19:21to accomplish as much as we could accomplish. Now we're going to go ahead and turn on it.
- 19:25And because we feel we have the youth on our side and they will continue on this battle
- 19:31to make it just an evil thing to love your country, to be thankful for your history,
- 19:38to be grateful to God for blessing you, to be born or raised in this country.
- 19:44So yeah, it's classic Marxic strategy. You use every group of people you can as long as you can
- 19:50to get as much out of them as you can, and then what you're done with them, you throw them under
- 19:54the bus and you move on to the next group to use and manipulate. We used to laugh, you and I,
- 20:02being probably of close to the same age, maybe a couple decades ago of Jay Leno going out on the
- 20:07street, doing these man on the street interviews, or going to college campuses after a graduation,
- 20:13or a high school graduation, asking kids what they knew about their country, what they knew about
- 20:17history. And we used to laugh at this, but it is so sad that they, history as we know has been
- 20:23rewritten by the left and by the Marxists and by those who control the textbook publishers and
- 20:28and everything else, the teachers unions. And now kids are being put out of this. I think you
- 20:33said something in that Liberty Pastors conference that we just played a clip from that the system
- 20:40is designed to do exactly what it's doing, putting out social justice activists, anti-American
- 20:46children who are growing up to be very effective on college campuses, anti-Christian, anti-Israel.
- 20:53So go ahead and share about that. Yes, it's a, it's a saying from the business world,
- 20:59your system is perfectly designed to give you what you're getting and what that means is whether
- 21:03it's a business, a family, anything, a country, whatever the product is you're turning out,
- 21:11that's what your system is designed to give. So even if you go, well, you know, people don't like
- 21:15my business, you realize I have to change the business then because if this is the product,
- 21:20the way I'm doing things is producing, that's what it's designed to do, even if I didn't
- 21:24intend it to be that way. Well, we see in the educational system so many naive Americans,
- 21:32you know, think, oh, this system is just failing. It's just, you know, it's just not working,
- 21:38you know, they don't even know how to read Harley and ride. They don't know how to do math and
- 21:42and then, you know, we've got to just change some things. But what I say to them, because it's
- 21:47the truth. And I know a lot of well-meaning people are trying to do things there, but I'm telling them
- 21:53the system is perfectly designed to give us what we're getting. They wanted what we're getting,
- 21:59just like that communist goal I read, they wanted to dumb down the curriculum. They wanted to get
- 22:04control of teachers associations. They wanted to turn the children into dumb down activists. Why?
- 22:10Because a dumb down person that doesn't have the character morality to be in control of
- 22:16himself is going to need big government. They're going to always vote for whoever demands the
- 22:21most government because they need it. They literally can't get up at 6 a.m. to go to work every
- 22:25morning. They're just too tired or I can hear the alarm. They'll always have a good excuse. So
- 22:30they wanted that kind of citizen that will be prone to be dependent on the system so you can
- 22:35use them very easily. But also it's then focusing all the energies of their life into accomplishing
- 22:43something. They want to have accomplished the environmental movement or the Black Lives Matter
- 22:47movement or whatever it might be that that always sounds good. They always manipulate the words to
- 22:53make you think, well this is a noble and just cause. Who's not for Black Lives? Well of course I'm
- 22:58for Black Lives. But unfortunately all the Marxist groups and I've studied hundreds of them over the
- 23:04last many many years. Their stated name or purpose is always the exact opposite of what they're
- 23:13actually trying to accomplish. One example of this because it's so bold is one of the communist groups
- 23:19I'm studying as a group out of Chicago. And I thought oh this is just a case in point for how
- 23:25they manipulate words to deceive us. The name of the group is called the committee to defend the
- 23:32Bill of Rights. It is a communist organization or Chicago. Only therefore one reason to make sure
- 23:39we lose all of our Bill of Rights so that we can institute a totalitarian government here. So
- 23:44that's just one example. But the whole environmental movement has never won you saving the planet.
- 23:50Their policies are destroying the planet. It's actually hurting what is green because what is
- 23:55green love CO2 and they're there to cut CO2 and when we know we need more CO2 for plant growth to
- 24:02really thrive like that's why they put it into the greenhouses like they do because they
- 24:06always know the more CO2 the better for everything that's green and yet they call themselves the green
- 24:12movement when they're cutting carbon dioxide. It's evil and demonic but they are brilliant at
- 24:19making things sound good. How many bills have has the left pushed that have sound good sounding
- 24:25names to them or titles to the Bill or the legislation who wouldn't want to protect the
- 24:29environment or who wouldn't want to protect children or who wouldn't be for women's rights or
- 24:34whatever else go on down the list and we're going to run out of time quickly Curtis but you're
- 24:39subtitle of agenda the first documentary grinding America down. If I remember right is that
- 24:45somewhat that sounds like Antonio Gramsey and wanting to grind down America and get in and
- 24:51infiltrate the major institutions is that the idea there and they've been very successful at it by
- 24:56the way. Yes yeah he said back in the 1930s he said if you want to take over a Judeo Christian
- 25:05country so a country that has foundations believing in God he can't use the Marxist revolution
